    Yeah, I was kind of freaking out for couple of minutes but then he made a couple of good passes and started to hit some of his shots.

    Redemption for Dlo after the Minny debacle. Great to see. Love our depth!

    This was indeed a big shot. If he's confident just a tough guy to put a lid on for too long

    Needed a good game from D-Lo and we got it. What I Love is that he doesn't really turn the ball over either...that's what you want from your point guard.

    Hit some BIG shots and spaced the floor adequately for our guys as well. That was important in the 4th for Rui/Reaves to have the space they had.

    I hope D-Lo can keep this up and have a good series - we'll need him to be in the 15-18 ppg range for us to win IMO

    Reaves had 0 turnovers as well with all the aggressive and fancy s*** he was doing out there in 31 minutes. :eek: :cool:

    DLO and Reaves really seem to love playing together and make a great combo out there on the perimeter on offense. What's crazy now is there is some real competition if this level of play continues for both ..... as to which of them the Lakers will deem worthy of the larger contract to keep them, if another team forces the issue for Reaves with a huge offer, and IF they will step up and bear the severe repeater tax to keep them both as well as Hachimura.

    D-Lo needs to play through his struggles. He will recover during games, he is an all-star.

    Unfortunately, Ham will take him out because he has a strong backup in Dennis, who in his own right, can cause all kind of troubles.

    I think that is a problem for players to get into rhythem and play through stuff. D-Lo is an NBA star, he isn't just a regular roster piece. He isn't going to be a superstar but he can get you 20 points or 7-8 assists practially every day.

    Everyone deserves blame for this loss but if you were gambler you would be thinking the DLo had money on Memphis.


    Just a horrific game. TO, bad shots, bad defense, just wtf was that?

    I really like him but I'm not sure what the Lakers should do with him at this rate. Horrific to pretty good to horrific is not going to cut it for any playoff team

    2-11 for 5 points in a game without Ja? If this keeps up he’s not going to be a Laker for long, being a Laker and turning into a pumpkin every playoffs just doesn’t work.

    Wow man, that was bad. I don't know if he's getting that contract he wants.
